You enter your office and check your phone. An app displays your day’s schedule and prompts you to reserve a room for your next meeting.
When you settle down to work, the smart building controls automatically adjust the lighting and temperature just for you, and even plays your most productivity-enhancing background music. Morning coffee? The office espresso machine knows you prefer a double.
